When requesting for an autograph from a tennis player who's a sfx client using the sfx address, does sfx forward the mail to the player or do they actually handle the mail for the player?

Much thanks,
Linda Merli

Hi AkaneLinda {up}

Welcome to Fanmail.biz :P

Generally SFX handle sports celebs fan mail for them. Most of the successes I have had from them came in a SFX envelope.

On the whole, sports celebs sign a whole bunch of photos in advance which are then sent out by SFX on their behalf.

Hope this helps!

Hi again AkaneLinda {up}

Like thewhitewitch said, you might get lucky especially if you have gone to the trouble of writing a nice letter, so don't give up hope :wink:

By the way, I love Singapore {thumb2} I have been there about 5 times and it is one of my favourite places!!! Very hot and humid though every time I've been :P

Do you live in the City? I usually stay in the Westin Stamford (I think it might have changed names now) opposite Raffles Hotel :D I am usually there on business (SICEC Center) but I try to get a few days added on!!!

BTW welcome to the forum :mrgreen:

Hee hee that's nice :D. Nope I don't live in the central city area though it's not that far from my house. (Singapore is so small!) I can't stand the weather here though, it's a scorching 35 degrees these days, been experiencing heatwave for about a month now.

Thank you for your help and i hope i get the chance to travel around England some time {thumb2}

Btw i've just learnt that you're already working :oops: I thought you're still in your teens.

I have got similar question so I do not want to create a new topic.

I'm going to write a letter to Justine Henin-Hardenne and to Richard Krajicek (both are/were tennis players) via SFX and Richard's Foundation.

How should I write a letter to SFXs etc.? I mean, directly to the player, f.e.: Dear Justine... I'm your fan (or sth like this) or Dear SFX... I'm Jusine's fan etc.

Has it got any sense to enclose a photo to be signed when writting via SFX or Foundation?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul {up}

Personally I would write to the person/player. The letter will get passed on if necessary. There is no problem with sending a photo, but I think mostly they will supply their own pictures :wink:
